Experimental and Theoretical Studies for Noncovalent Interactions Analysis of 2-Phenyl Imidazole Derivative: Perspective for Anti-Inflammatory Activity

Abstract

Synthesis of 2-Phenyl imidazole derivative has been carried out for the studies of quantitative non-covalent interactions and anti-inflammatory activity. Hirshfeld surface analysis, crystal structure, and non-covalent interaction computation have all been used to do quantitative investigations of non-covalent interactions. The intermolecular interactions calculations have been done with crystalexplorer 17. Further, anti-inflammatory activities of synthesized molecules were evaluated by molecular docking studies through autodock vina and in-vivo studies through carrageenan rat model. The molecular docking and in-vivo studies revealed that all molecules have shown significant anti-inflammatory activity, compared to standard drugs nimesulide. © 2024 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
